Dreams don’t always make sense. But here is a reason to write them down when you have a dream and remember it. They do help us sort out things though. When you have a dream, you can ask your self what does something mean to you or what do you think it represents. It’s a source of inspiration to use to express yourself through anything.. a painting, poem, a song, a photo etc.. You can see if there is a pattern of dreams or themes and understand yourself better. I created this self portrait in honour of a dream I had. THE DREAM: It’s Chinese New Year, I’m on a roof top watching fireworks, the shingles look like Chinese Rooftops you’d see in an old palace mansion (Kinda like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon film) I’m with someone (who passed away, RIP) and the person is telling me a story. The person tells me about sharks in the arctic. I’m totally astonished because I thought they only lived in warm water, apparently they are in the arctic. Then the person reaches above into the sky (as the fireworks are still going on) and we get teleported into the stars. We get to float around and be with the constellations. Everything is very vivid. The colours are bright in this dream and I’m floating around in space. I don’t know what it could mean, in reality, but I created this photo to express the feeling of the dream when I was in the galaxy in my dream.

So when I first learned WordPress, I would go through and search for the “perfect” theme. I would scroll and look at themes for hours, deciding which one to pick. It was tiring and sometimes the themes I picked were a bad idea even if I paid for them. They didn’t have enough resources to figure them out. If you would like to save your self time, here are 4 tips in picking the right WordPress theme for yourself. What year was the theme made and does it have updates? Is there a forum where people discuss issues and help each other? Are there youtube tutorials on how to use the theme? Are there any resources on the theme? Themes I’ve used and liked: http://arrastheme.com/ – Free https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/twentyeleven/ – Free http://www.elegantthemes.com/ – Paid (hundreds of themes and easy functionality and support) Love and good melodies Image source...

Happy Inspirational Monday! I have a song, a photographer and a tip sheet of inspiration! Enjoy!…. This song below my cellist and I are working on as a cover. I love the song how simple it is, yet it has a lot of thought put into it such as the progression of the beat, melody etc… I find sometimes that the most simple songs the most beautiful/moving. This photographer Michael David Adams absolutely inspires me. Doing underwater photography can be complicated, from lighting, camera housing, model, movement and being under water. To capture such beautiful images takes so much skill. This work inspires me to push my level of photography to a new level and try new things. We all get a little stuck sometimes. Here is a tip sheet if you ever need to get “unstuck”… Love and good melodies ...
